The Sinovel expressed 6 MW home wind turbine as in Asia largest installed capacity of wind turbine, Following the 5 MW wind turbine is put into commercial operation, the large-scale wind turbine of another breakthrough.

It is understood that in the domestic home wind generator manufacturing sector, the unit capacity of 1.5 MW, 2 MW, 2.5 MW wind turbines for the main model, accounting for over ninety percent of market share. However, the domestic wind power equipment manufacturers has been commence on the 5 MW, 6 MW R & D and manufacturing competition. December 25, 2011, Guodian United Power Technology Co., Ltd. announced that with completely independent intellectual property rights 6 MW offshore wind turbine success offline.

On May 30 last year, the Sinovel 6MW wind turbines officially produced October 8 that year, the the Sinovel 6 MW offshore wind turbine has completed Sheyang County, Jiangsu Province port industrial area first lifting. It is reported that a demonstration project of the Shanghai port offshore wind 17 6 MW unit will Sinovel newly built Shanghai port wind power industry base put into operation.

Port offshore wind power projects is the second offshore wind power demonstration project launched by the National Development and Reform Commission in Shanghai. East side of the waters in Nanhui. Plans to install 6 MW offshore wind turbines in China’s independently developed 17 units, a total installed capacity of 102 MW. The project concession period of 28 years. The total investment of 1.75905 billion yuan, the plan was completed in September 2014.

While there is no doubt of the Chinese wind generators  manufacturers’ ability to learn quickly, adapt and alter the technology to bring the costs down, F&S believes that the wind power market presents a tougher challenge for the Chinese to crack.

“Firstly, there are a number of technology- related quality issues that the Chinese manu- facturers will have to sort out before they are able to deliver a technology solution on a par with the established Western manufacturers. The technology gap is expanding, with US industrial group GE, residential wind generator company Vestas, diversified technology group Siemens and other companies investing in improvements that increase their turbines’ availability and reliability.

“A technical fault leading to reduced availability presents a huge risk to a developer and can wipe out a large chunk of expected profits. A faultless operating record will have a posi- tive impact on project developers, who will be more confident in the quality of the Chinese turbines. But we need to [take into consideration] that it will take years to build this trust. We are witnessing Chinese wind turbine manufacturers taking the first steps in the right direction, although the government had to step in and set stricter regulations”, adds Bakhareva.

The State Electricity Regulatory Commission has released stricter technical regulations, especially for low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) reformation. Additionally, 18 industry standards were released in November last year by the National Bureau of Energy.

The US Commerce Department announced last week that it will respond to a complaint by a group of American wind turbine tower manufacturers over low-cost towers imported from China and Vietnam by launching a formal probe into whether the imports breach trade rules.

However, China’s Ministry of Commerce responded immediately, issuing a statement on its website in which it criticised the investigation and offered a thinly veiled threat that China could take retaliatory action if the US government imposes import tariffs.

“This investigation will not only be harmful to the development of Sino-US new-energy cooperation; it will harm the interests of the US industry, and is not in line with global efforts on climate change and energy security,” it said.

The ministry also urged the US to stand by commitments made at the G20 to avoid introducing new protectionist measures.

However, some critics maintain that the generous subsidies and preferential treatment the Chinese government offers many of its clean-tech firms amount to unfair competition.

China’s reaction to the new probe almost precisely mirrors its initial reaction to news wind generator last year that the US would investigate whether imports of solar technologies are in line with World Trade Organisation rules.

Chinese officials escalated the row last November by announcing they would launch their own investigation into the level of subsidy the US government has provided its domestic clean-energy firms.

“The Ministry of Commerce has decided to initiate a trade barrier investigation into policy support and subsidies for the US renewable energy sector,” it said in a statement, adding that US policies “constitute a trade barrier against the export of Chinese renewable energy products to the United States” and “ small wind turbines violated the United States’ commitments under World Trade Organisation rules, and are an unreasonable barrier and restriction on China’s renewable energy industry, reducing the competitiveness of Chinese products in the US market”.

Last year, after the central authorities in Beijing and the composition of major scientific and technological achievements of the joint meeting, a total of nearly 300 major projects received $ 10 billion of government funds to support the financial co-ordination, co-ordinate the Government’s financial capital than the “Eleventh Five-Year” period 6 billion yuan per year increased by 67%.

‘Beware of overheating investment in wind power turbines equipment industry! “National Energy Board new and renewable energy Shi Lishan, deputy director of the first warning.

Subsequently, the state departments issued a document also pointed out that wind power equipment to strictly control the blind expansion of production capacity, but it was too late, has launched a large number of projects can not stop now.

Blind expansion led to excess capacity, excess capacity led to price wars, intensified the price war for some companies to reduce costs while ignoring product quality, the result is more than a year in the short period of time saw a number of fans and even off-grid collapse.

Conversely, frequent accidents caused by wind power the state to strengthen the regulation of wind power, wind power equipment market needs a substantial decline at the same time, its product quality standards are more stringent, and coupled with wind power equipment industry for the removal of subsidies , and let the wind power equipment industry is worse. We can say that wind power industry through the “Great Leap Forward”, the industry is currently in the depth of winter.

Of course, that wind power “Great Leap Forward” refers to its rapid development, resulting in not only on the number of quality, efficiency is not high frequency of accidents, not to say that China wind turbine generaotor does not need wind electricity. In contrast, although China has abundant wind energy resources, but the utilization rate is unusually low. Public data shows that China’s wind power installed capacity in India is only 3 / 4, Germany 1 / 4. No doubt, to develop wind power is still the state established goals and direction.

2012, when the “second five” first year, according to the 2015 and 2020, the size of China’s wind power capacity was 100 million kilowatts and 180 million kilowatts.

Leading wind farm by the New Energy Co., Ltd. China Datang Group, investment and construction, is co-ordinating regional level to promote the project, the total investment 870 million yuan, the total installed capacity of 99MW, works in two phases, the project construction site is located in the county home Liu , Fuyang town, the ancient town. Which an installed capacity 49.5MW, 1500KW installing 33 wind turbine units, project investment of 440 million yuan, the main building including fan, generator, transformer installations, transmission lines and civil works, etc.

In recent years, the county to create a “county, Guangxi Electric Power Industry” development orientation, to develop wind energy development and utilization of resources, pay close attention to the leading wind farm projects. In 2011, the county completed the leading small wind turbines farm investment 200 million yuan, accounting for 100% of the annual investment plan.

The NEA issued the first tender call in May. This invited bids to develop four pilot projects totalling 1 GW in Jiangsu, with the results due to be announced in September. Two of the projects, Dafeng and Dongtai, are inter-tidal. Both will be 200 MW in capacity. The other two, Binhai and Sheyang, classified as fully offshore, will be 300 MW each.

Representing an expected investment of CNY20 billion and with expectations high that a further tender for another 5 GW is likely to be issued within the next few years, there has been a flurry of interest and activity from developers and equipment suppliers alike. China’s leading wind turbine generator developer, China Longyuan Power Group, is one of the known bidders in the 1 GW tender, while other domestic giants like Guangdong and China Power Investment Corporation are also expected to be contenders.

Longyuan has also set up an offshore wind turbines manufacturing 50:50 joint venture (JV) in Nantong City, Jiangsu, in partnership with Zhenhua Heavy Industry Company. The new venture, called Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering Company, will focus on the manufacturing of small wind turbines and installation of steel structures, while also offering full construction, installation and maintenance services for offshore wind farms, including the provision of foundation systems and subsea cables.

MARS system not only has the advantages of high  wind power generation efficiency, and the space and the area is also very small. In general, a generating capacity of 1000 MW of conventional wind power plants in the occupied area of ​​between 250-300 square kilometers, and KiteGen technology companies claim to use the MARS system for power plants using only 5-6 square kilometers the area can achieve the same power capacity.

MARS system consists of high-altitude towing kites and ground power equipment of two parts. Towing kite and wind turbines connected to the ground and through the power generation equipment installed in the air on a kite rotation sensors to control the direction and path, in order to maximize the driving wind turbines spin and generate electricity. KiteGen said that although the system is still in the wind generators testing phase, but the prospects are very bright. Compared with the conventional wind power generation, MARS system has unparalleled advantages: It can be obtained from a stable high-altitude wind energy. The higher the kite flying high, as the average wind speed the greater the higher the efficiency of power generation, while the traditional wind turbines up to the average height is only 100 meters.

Moreover, according to company estimates KiteGen, MARS system per kilowatt hour of electricity costs about $ 0.02 to $ 0.05 per kilowatt hour of energy and fossil power generation cost between $ 0.05 to $ 0.09, compared with the traditional cost of wind power plants $ 0.15.

Mao by the MARS system by Bo Lite Mason (MassimoIppolito) invention. He then set up in 2007 KiteGen Technologies, headquartered in Italy eccentric. Currently, the home wind power generator system is further improved, the relevant standard operating procedures are developed. The company hopes to obtain sufficient funds to develop the first complete model.
